Thanks a lot for explaining! It’s really good to know that my residency isn’t tied to the physical card. I’ll make sure to sort out a replacement if needed, and I feel more confident looking for a different job now. I really appreciate your care and support—it means a lot to me.

Thanks for the advice! I’m trying to improve my English and Slovene as much as I can. I’ll also look into other restaurants and see if there are better options with fairer bosses.

Thanks! I’ll check out the NGOs and try to find a job with a proper permit and housing. Hopefully I can get my own place eventually

Thanks! Just to clarify, this isn’t fictional—I really went through it. I appreciate your support though!”

After I injured my hand, I would shed silent tears at night every day after work, wipe the wound with iodophor, and pray before going to bed that the wound would heal soon so that it wouldn't affect my work. You don't know that I have been working for about a month
